I doing the same with my 69 roadster. After all of time and debating over how it affects the resale value, it just seems right regardless of what corvette enthusiasts say. You can't please everyone
I really prefer the L88 hood like the one here in this video. There are other hood designs but for my taste this one compliments the sharp crisp lines of this model/style of the Stingrays. This Corvette is decked out just right and not overly modified to make it appear over the top and taking away the Stingrays really great lines. Great job to whomever did the body mods and the paint also. Oh and 600 hp doesn't hurt the hidden elegance under the hood. I want one very similar to this Vette. But I want mine to be powered by a twin turbo LS7. Because the LS7 is all aluminum and can produce hp numbers in the 1000 hp range and all the way past 1500 hp with the correct turbocharger system and Nelson racing engines (NRE) can make a 427 LS engine be completely tame when driven easy but their engines can become absolutely insane when called upon to show what a real Chevy LS motor is capable of doing.
that is an awsome beast ! perfect work ! the rear spoiler is now not necessarily my favorite , but it is not my car! but still a very good conversion become ! so that he makes a lot of fun !!!
@@antoinewhite3778 not really sure. It all depends. But full interior redone with some exterior work, full engine build, full suspensions, lots of etc. my guess full cost including car. 50k
I usually don't think silver cars look good, but damn you changed my mind. Your vette looks awesome. And yes I'm jealous. I had an '81 vette and made the mistake of selling in 1999. I didn't do the upgrades that you did; the work you did put yours on a pedestal compared to a stock Corvette.
Wow nice job, I love everything about it from the C6 seats to the ground effects and color. That intake is cool too, I’ve never seen one like that. I’m guessing that’s an LSx type engine, looks like it’s not even trying hard when you get on it, I bet it’s ridiculous fast.
No, it's not a LS engine, but a conventional 454 stroker with fuel injection. It seems to have endless power and driving it with the 6 speed transmission is a thrill.
@@lasmoen8602 that’s real nice, I love LS engines but I like that you went with old school Big Block power, it fits the cars vibe better. I can tell from the video it has no problem pushing that light car through the gears. BTW, what rear gear are you running?
Wow nicest looking C3 I've ever seen. Looks and sounds great. The side vent spears are really unique, I'd love to put some on my 76. Any information on where I could find these.
Beautiful! Where and what are your hood vents? Also was it hard to put nematic system to open and close the hood? I have a 1970 and just installed a LS2 with a 4L60 e trans!
The hood vents can be purchased. We modified ours and mounted from underneath. The actuators are electric linear actuators. Not an easy task considering reinforcing the hood, figuring out the geometry and installing mounts.
I have a quick question. The car was all original with extremely low miles . It looked great. I love the aftermath after all the upgrades and work. It looks amazing. But why didnt you buy one that had a blown motor or needed more work since you changed everything anyway. Seems like you could have saved a lot of money on the build.
@@lasmoen8602 now that makes sense :-). You have a beautiful car I wasn't trying to knock you or the car by no means. You did an amazing job with it just was curious
